Resumen
Quizá el legado más notable del llamado marxismo analítico sea la tesis, defendida por algunos destacados representantes de esta corriente filosófica, según la cual las razones que impulsan a Marx y al marxismo a condenar el capitalismo y defender el socialismo son, en el fondo, de una naturaleza moral. Si asumimos esta interpretación de Marx y del marxismo, nos veremos obligados a reconsiderar la relación entre el marxismo y otra tradición socialista para la cual los valores morales también son fundamentales, a saber, el llamado “socialismo ético”. Si al reconsiderar esta relación dejamos de lado algunas ideas falsas, si bien muy extendidas, con respecto a la naturaleza del socialismo ético (tales como la creencia de que implica una política reformista o el supuesto de que sea idéntico al “socialismo utópico”), descubrimos que la dicotomía entre el socialismo ético y el socialismo marxista resulta insostenible, al menos en los términos en los que ha sido planteado hasta ahora.
